Governor Bullock, Department of Administration Task New Bipartisan Work Group with Saving Montanans Money on Health Insurance

Report commissioned by Montana Healthcare Foundation shows reinsurance could save Montanans 10-20% on individual health insurance premiums

Governor Steve Bullock and Department of Administration Director John Lewis have tasked a bipartisan work group with saving Montanans money on individual health insurance premiums, following a new report commissioned by the Montana Healthcare Foundation that shows a state reinsurance program could save Montanans 10-20% on health insurance premiums.

"With the uncertainty and instability coming out of Washington D.C., we must do what we can in Montana to drive down costs and stabilize the marketplace – and the time to act is now," said Governor Bullock. "Stability and affordability is particularly important to a state like Montana. I believe we can find common ground from both sides of the aisle to make healthcare affordable for Montanans, while preserving consumer protections and market competition unique to Montana."
